I live in the Whites. Hands down wildcat. No where else can you ski 2100 vertical with a 6 minute chairlift ride. It’s cold and windy but you just need to know how to dress.

Problem with cannon is that it has maybe 5 days a year with good snow, rest of the time it's half ice rink half boulder field.

The problem with Cannon is that it's right on 93. It's like a direct link to assholeville.

...my response to out-of-staters. All true, but the views and the runs are so worth it!

I went there for the first time this weekend and they have definitely stepped up their game this season. People made a huge stink last year becuase it just seems like they didn't care, didn't put in any effort. This year I'm seeing like 2-3X the amount of staff, way more snow making already, some attempt at organized parking. Even the store had 3 employees working where I've never seen more than 1. So far it looks much improved!
